2014 Culture Survey Comments

What does the Atlantic Wireless culture mean to you?

Everything!
It means being part of a unique environment where unselfishness is the key to success.
Going beyond the call with each customer
It’s a fun, God honoring environment that’s provided me with mental and spiritual stability.
We serve, God, our customers and each other
Treating others the way I want to be treated. I feel comfortable in my work place and that I have a voice that will be heard.
Work hard & be rewarded
It means to make the customers and employees feel appreciated and respected
A God honoring foundation, caring and an organized company that brings forth our Mission, Vision and Values daily.
It means being your self and building long term relationships with the customers by having good communication. It means doing everything you can for our customers while remaining ethical and displaying integrity. It means creating a work environment that the team loves to work in.
We do everything it takes to make wrongs right, make bad situations good, and help when it is needed.
It means treat everyone with respect.
Living the word of God everyday!
Always giving my best
Everything. It is this culture that motivates us to constantly strive to be our best in everything we do. It is what drove us into the Elite Performers group and what will keep us there.
Means a lot to me because there’s few companies with this type of culture
AWC likes to have fun and it’s owners want the right people in place to create a professional, customer focused, and profitable organization.
It means we are all together in our ethics and the way we contribute to helping Atlantic Wireless and U.S. Cellular become the best that it can be.
It means everything especially when I can come to work and not feel like I cannot express my religion to customers or my co-workers.
This is a time where I can let the company know if there is a way to help reach my potential and also to let know where and how I can reach that.
Time to come together and work on any improvements to help the company
We are God Honoring and must obey his call to serve our customers and employees.
It means we struggle and succeed or fail together.
Sometimes stressful working about selling and hitting your numbers
Our culture has to do with everything from feeling free to express what we believe in… Also, I feel that our customer service is the highest out of all other U.S. Cellular franchises.
A highly productive workplace with an employer who values their employees and employees who value their employer.
This is what sets us apart from other companies. We remain true to these things and they mean everything to what we stand for.
Going beyond just the basic duties and going beyond the call.
It makes us different from, all other companies.
It means a lot to me, because I am a Christian, and it is nice to know the company I work for is.
Means that I work for a company that really cares.
The culture means everything. Without our culture, we’d be the typical company that doesn’t care about its employees or customers.
I feel like I can rely on others to help me in times of need, and I can enjoy each day that I come to work.
Working in a company that honors God and functions like a family.
Family and God
It means that we are a company that works to balance its passion for its people’s personal growth as well as for the growth of the business.
Making a difference in peoples lives that go well beyond sales and profits.
It warms my heart and makes me very proud to work here : )
It means that I am a part of a family and something bigger than myself. This helps me manage thru the various challenges and difficulties.
I think of always trying to do the right thing.

Service
We go beyond the call. We are a caring company; made up of a group of highly trained associates who share the same mission, vision and values. We work in a safe environment where God is honored and you don’t have to be afraid of what you believe in. Other companies try to create families- we are a family. We are a caring organization that is lead very well and cares about employees as well as customers. Our (Atlantic Wireless) culture is a fun environment that promotes company growth. Our culture is our Mission, Vision, and Values all combined into one to make a positive, uplifting, and encouraging culture.
Values & behaviors
To use our foundation of mission, vision, values and behaviors
A strong foundation of Mission, Vision, Values and Behaviors.
I think that it’s hard for me to really answer this question because I know the culture at our store. I feel like the company is separated into 11 stores and isn’t one company. I thought I would meet people at the Christmas party but everyone was still so standoffish. I know what the culture is supposed to be, I’m just not sure if it is. We get these emails everyday about birthdays, anniversaries, etc. and they all seem so generic. I also feel like our store isn’t included and barely gets recognition for anything.
We go beyond the call, no matter what the situation.
To be caring.. Go beyond the call… not afraid of showing what we believe in.
Fun, Integrity, respectful, relentless
We are a God-Honoring Company!
The behavior is driving. Everyone that I’ve met at the admin office seems to be very cheerful. The few retail locations I’ve visited each have their own type of cheer. The thought is that you can always do more. It seems the atmosphere is very goal focused, but the accountability and training is missing.
We go beyond the call and live by the Mission, Vision and Values everyday!!!!
It is an organization that is made up of our Mission, Vision and Values to make a positive environment.
Our culture is to become a more efficient well-organized company to be able to branch out and become a bigger family
To serve our customers
Christian based
The culture is one of hard work and dedication.
Sell Sell Sell
I think our culture is God honoring and customer focused.
Mission, Vision, Core Values, and Behaviors
Everything that we are as a company. Its what makes us one of the highest level of customer service satisfaction.
We go beyond just the phone call.
God honoring company
Our culture is based on a foundation built upon four cornerstones: Mission, Vision, Core Values, and Behaviors.
The Atlantic Wireless culture is the backbone of the company. It is what sets us apart from everyone else. Without our strong culture, we would be just like every other company out there.
Fulfilling our mission/vision as we live into our core values every day.
Customer Focused
The Atlantic Wireless culture is one of both family and passion for its people, as well as of growth and customer satisfaction.
A culture of serving a mighty God that has placed us in this place at this time to glorify Him through the gifts He has so richly bestowed upon us.
Our culture is our unique mission, vision, and core values. It is the foundation of our company and what makes us stand out above the rest.
Integrity

What is different about our culture compared to other company cultures?

We really do care about our customer’s and don’t treat them like a number.
Most modern day companies thrive on individual efforts, we thrive on team efforts.
I can’t think of anything
We mean what we say
The difference is the reasoning behind this company.
What this company is based on and our values
We truly go beyond the call and do provide the ideal customer experience every time.
The company actually cares about the associates
It’s not just words.
Other companies I worked for focused more on making money than training, encouraging, and enjoyment of the job.
I never worked for a company that is very God oriented, I’m not a religious person and glad that they respect that & don’t try to push it upon me.
Customer service is not the same many companies want to provide the best but only get the worst here at Atlantic wireless we provide great customer service even though we all have had the system issues we play a big role to keep the customers to stay with U.S. Cellular
Other companies strictly follow cooperate rules. AWC is about having fun, being involved, caring, sharing and being a team!
Customer satisfaction is at the top of our agenda here. I can tell by the comments that customers make that they are not treated the same by other companies. Our culture also isn’t uptight.
We care about employees and customers. We do what it takes to succeed while making everyone happy. No other company does it like us.
We care about our customers and our fellow co-workers more than any other company I have seen.
This is a God based company that isn’t afraid to show it. Most company prohibited you from that. Nothing will work without God in it!!
Good support from managers
It’s a caring culture. One that you can be proud to be a part of because you know that it has the best interest for everyone involved.
A lot of other companies think with their pockets rather than an open mind.
AWC is honoring God.
To be honest….I didn’t even know other companies had cultures
Well other companies that I’ve worked for to not state any kind of culture like ours and to second that other companies do not care for their employees like Atlantic Wireless. I feel like family working for Atlantic Wireless.
Ours is more about how we can build our company not bash what we are doing like some companies
I have never worked with a company so encouraging and caring
Other companies don’t have the same vision and values
The dedication to study and work that has to take place after hours.
I’ve never had a job that was all about hitting numbers and sales processes
I feel that this company cares about its employees and wants us to succeed.
The fact that we are God Honoring is above and beyond any other company I have come across.
Companies do not express their love for God anymore. This has become taboo and the fact that our company believes and isn’t afraid to say it, makes me proud. Also, there aren’t many companies left that treat their employees like their own family and that is what we are here.
We are God honoring, and not afraid to offend someone. We all have a right to express what we believe.
We honor God.
I’ve worked in other positions before, where I was just an employee number. Upper management and owners did not know who I was.
I definitely feel like we have the best culture compared to anyone. None of the other jobs I’ve had come close.
God is being honored openly!
We focus on the people and their well being while not forgetting that we are a for-profit business. When the business profits, we profit.
God honoring….the Light on the hill for all to see, not under a bushel basket. An agenda of trust, respect, and appreciation.
Our love for God, our act of witnessing, the love we show our customers, and our passion for doing what’s right.
We strive to actually live into our MVV instead of just giving them lip service.
We are always looking to improve it.

It has helped me become a better individual just in the values set in our training.
We live by it everyday.

That we put what we do in perspective. One of givers not takers. One with no self-serving agenda or political correctness that clouds our mission.
Our people. I love interacting with our associates

So, what do you think? We sure do have a pretty impressive culture here at Atlantic Wireless. Our people are definitely world class! Do you want to know how we have created such an amazing culture? It’s a secret…..just kidding. The way we look at things is a bit different than other companies. We believe that Jesus has stewarded Atlantic Wireless with its associates (employees). Therefore, we try and practice Matthew 7:12 which states “So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you…” Our leaders are servant leaders so we ensure our associates have the best of everything. That means Atlantic Wireless will provide world class management, world class locations, world class training, and world class benefits. We are not perfect but we are striving for excellence.
